Initially, the Royal Canadian Mint struck over 2.5 million silver 1921 5-cents, but in the following year Canada switched to the now familiar larger nickel 5-cent coins, and by 1929 the silver coins were being withdrawn from circulation and melted down en masse. The unsold 1921 coins remaining in the vaults were among those destroyed. It is believed that somewhere around 400 to 500 pieces survived this destruction, and these were likely sold to collectors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Crowned bust of George V facing left, with the legend around. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: Crowned denomination above the date, within a wreath of two maple boughs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eMonarch: George V \u003cbr\u003eDesigner: Edgar Bertram MacKennal (obv), W.H.J.
